Separately, in Charente, a museum located at the former Gourville station has restored a 1910 locomotive known as the ‘petit Mairat’. The narrow-gauge railway, which operated for four decades until the late 1940s, was championed by Paul Mairat, a former deputy and press owner who fought for the development of local interest lines to serve the Charente countryside.
